Reyna García sat in the Chamber of Deputies for Michoacán's 11th district during the 58th Congress (2000–2003)[1] and as a plurinominal deputy during the 60th Congress (2006–2009).[2]
Between April to October 2013 he acted as interim Governor of Michoacán during Governor Fausto Vallejo's absence from office for health reasons.[3]
In April 2014 Reyna García was accused of having ties to the Knights Templar Cartel and was sent to prison for organized crime charges a month later.[4] Guillermo Valencia Reyes, former mayor of Tepalcatepec, Michoacán, tweeted on 16 June 2014, that Governor Fausto Vallejo was using Reyna García as a scapegoat to protect his son, Rodrigo Vallejo Mora. Two days later Vallejo resigned.[5] Reyna García was released from prison in December 2018. He was the only politician convicted after the investigations undertaken by federal commissioner Alfredo Castillo Cervantes.[6]
